Strongly agree

Yes, but it should only cover very basic and simple topics

This answer aligns well with Obama's stance on immigration reform. He supported a pathway to citizenship for undocumented immigrants, which likely includes some form of test or demonstration of understanding. However, his emphasis on fairness and humanity in the process suggests that he would support a test that covers basic and simple topics, rather than one that is overly burdensome or exclusionary.

Slightly agree

Yes, and it should test more than just a basic level of understanding

He may be concerned that such a test could be overly burdensome or exclusionary.

Slightly disagree

No, most citizens couldn’t even pass a citizenship test

While Obama has emphasized the need for fairness and humanity in the immigration process, it's unlikely that he would agree with the idea that most citizens couldn't pass a citizenship test. This statement could be seen as a critique of the education system or the general knowledge of citizens, which doesn't align well with Obama's public statements and policies.

Disagree

No

Obama's stance on immigration reform suggests that he would likely disagree with the idea of not requiring any form of test or demonstration of understanding for immigrants seeking citizenship.
